Should companies sell their old systems to employees once their useful life is over?

This is just an idea, Companies give quite high end systems to their employees for office work. My point is, if companies could have a provision to let employees keep/buy back their old systems after sensitive data is destroyed and without any warranty. It would be a good idea to reduce E-Waste and these systems are still capable for daily basic computing. What do you think?

My old office did this, kind of. If something was end of life, we could take it. They didn't sell it though, but that could be itneresting

Sounds interesting! Most companies should give this as an option.

I think this is a great idea! Everyone benefits.

This sounds like a business idea....sell your old equipment to us and we'll give you a percentage of the profits...

Makes sense to me!
